Traveling can be an exciting adventure, but it can also take a toll on your skin. Changes in climate, humidity, and exposure to different environmental pollutants can leave your skin feeling dry, dull, and irritated. However, with the right skincare routine and products, you can maintain healthy, glowing skin no matter where you go. At Apothecary & Me, we offer a range of natural, travel-friendly products designed to keep your skin looking its best while on the move.
Pre-Travel Preparation
1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
One of the most important things you can do for your skin before traveling is to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your trip to ensure your skin is well-hydrated and ready to face the changing environments. Hydrated skin is more resilient and better able to handle the stresses of travel.
2. Simplify Your Skincare Routine
When packing for a trip, it can be tempting to bring your entire skincare arsenal. However, it's best to simplify your routine to a few essential products that will keep your skin balanced and healthy. Our Mini Duo Radiance Set, which includes mini versions of our Illuminate Face Oil and Glow Face Scrub, is perfect for travel. These products are compact, easy to pack, and provide all the benefits your skin needs while you're away.
In-Flight Skincare
1. Moisturise Before and During the Flight
Airplane cabins are notoriously dry, which can dehydrate your skin. Apply a generous amount of moisturiser before you board and reapply during the flight if needed. Our Illuminate Face Oil is ideal for this, as it provides deep hydration without feeling greasy.
2. Avoid Heavy Makeup
Try to avoid wearing heavy makeup during the flight, as it can clog pores and exacerbate dryness. Instead, opt for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream that provides light coverage and hydration.
3. Use a Hydrating Mist
A hydrating mist can be a lifesaver on long flights. Spritz your face with a mist every few hours to keep your skin refreshed and hydrated. Look for mists that contain soothing ingredients like aloe vera or rose water.
Daily Skincare Routine While Traveling
1. Cleanse Gently
Travel can expose your skin to different pollutants and impurities, making cleansing even more important. Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Our Glow Face Scrub can be used as a gentle exfoliant to keep your skin smooth and radiant.
2. Hydrate Regularly
Keep your skin hydrated by applying a moisturiser or facial oil twice a day. Our Illuminate Face Oil is perfect for maintaining hydration and providing essential nutrients to your skin.
3. Protect Your Skin
Don't forget to protect your skin from the sun and environmental pollutants. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning, even on cloudy days. Additionally, consider using a product with antioxidants to help combat free radicals and pollution.
4. Stay Consistent
Consistency is key to maintaining healthy skin while traveling. Stick to your simplified skincare routine and make time for your skincare rituals, even on busy days.
Post-Travel Skincare
1. Detox Your Skin
After returning from your trip, give your skin some extra care to help it recover from the stresses of travel. Use a detoxifying mask or a gentle exfoliant to remove any buildup of impurities and dead skin cells such as our Glow Face Scrub.
2. Rehydrate and Repair
Rehydrate your skin with a nourishing facial oil or serum. Our Illuminate Face Oil is perfect for restoring moisture and providing essential nutrients to help your skin recover.
3. Pamper Yourself
Take some time to pamper your skin with a soothing bath or a relaxing facial massage. Our luxurious Bath Oil can help you unwind and provide deep hydration to your skin and ensure your tan lasts for longer.
